I love Elton John but Jesus I cannot understand what he is saying sometimes.

Like in the lyrics for Island Girl, I had no idea what he was saying after "he wants to take you from the racket boss." I thought he was saying, "He wants to take you down the kolzenschlaas," and I don't even speak German.

Elton was a genius until after "Blue Moves" then he began his slow, inexorable crawl toward turning into Liza Minelli.
